Concept explainers
(a)
To describe: The cells of the secondary mycelium of basidiomycetes given in the question.
Introduction: The life cycle of
(b)
To determine: The stage of the life cycle of the basidiomycete cells provided in the given figure.
Introduction: The life cycle of fungi has three different stages. The life cycle of fungi is the basis of classification of fungi. Each member of the group has similar life cycle stages. Formation of sexual spores is a distinct process involving the formation of spore-forming body in each of the group of fungi.
(c)
To draw: The diagram supporting the sequence of next events that take place in the life cycle of basidiomycetes.

Basidiocarp b.) Mushroom c.) Mycelium d.) Secondary mycelium e.) Basidiosporesarrow_forward
- . Fungi with hyphae ________. A) acquire their nutrients by phagocytosis B) are called yeasts C) have cell walls that consist mainly of cellulose microfibrils D) are adapted for rapid directional growth to new food sources E) reproduce asexually by a process known as buddingarrow_forwardWhich of the following is/are example(s) ofdeuteromycetes?(a) Alternaria (b) Colletotrichum(c) Trichoderma (d) All of these Please try to break the solutions into as many steps as practically possible and the steps should come one by one and they should be short and crisp and plagiarism-free.arrow_forwardWhich statement is not true of the zygomycetes? (a) many members of this group form endomycorrhizae with tree roots (b) their sexual spores are called zygospores (c) they undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction (d) plasmogamy and karyogamy occur (e) they have coenocytic hyphaearrow_forward
- How can ascomycetes be distinguished from basidiomycetes?a. Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d. Ascomycetes are not commonly mycorrhizal partners, butbasidiomycetes are commonly present in mycorrhizal associations.e. All of the above are correct.arrow_forwardDraw the life cycle of a basidiomycete, and indicate theheterokaryotic stage.arrow_forwardWhy do fungi mostly occur in moist habitat? a) Their thin hyphae lose water quickly making them vulnerable to dehydration b) Their spores are small and vulnerable to dehydration c) Their sperm require water to swim to eggs d) Conidiophores require moisture for dispersal e) A and C f) C and Darrow_forward
